MIS 535 - Network Security

3 credit hours
Network security covers a broad area, including the security of devices that comprise the network infrastructure, the security of the traffic sent over that infrastructure, the hosts (clients and servers) attached to the infrastructure, applications that utilize the network, the user community, and the policies that govern usage of that network. This course covers principles and practices of network security by using the first four layers of the OSI protocol stack (physical, link, network, and transport) to examine how devices and protocol at each layer provide “defense in depth” by both securing communications traffic and by preventing unauthorized access to the various network segments interconnected by these devices. The course explores elements of network security architecture and design patterns are used to understand how these elements can be combined into an integrated design that effectively supports the security policies of the enterprise.
